【Chapter 134】Removal of the Elders
【Chapter 134】Removal of the Elders
Although Ye Chenyuan did not release any pressure, Lu Yueyao felt a sense of oppression coming towards her. In front of these old monsters of the Ye family, she was as weak as an ant.
"Junior, take your leave."
After bowing, Lu Yueyao turned and walked out of the yard.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan hurriedly saluted Ye Chenyuan.
"Grandfather, I'll go see Yueyao off."
After saying this, regardless of whether Ye Chenyuan agreed or not, he quickly chased after Lu Yueyao.
But just as he ran to the gate of the yard, he felt a pulling force from behind. Unable to resist, he was pulled back and fell heavily to the ground.
“Ah~”
Although he was not injured, he lost face by falling in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, Ye Mingze subconsciously wanted to step forward to help Ye Xuan. He just took two steps forward and felt an overwhelming pressure coming towards him.
As soon as he raised his head, he met Ye Chenyuan's indifferent eyes. Obviously, Ye Chenyuan's expression was no different from before, but he could see a sign of impending disaster on Ye Chenyuan's face.
An ominous premonition filled his heart.
The fifth elder at the side raised his hand and used his spiritual energy to help Ye Xuan up from a distance: "Master, why do you bother with a junior?"
Ye Chenyuan withdrew his pressure, glanced at the fifth elder, and made a decision in his heart. After proving that Ye Mingze is not his son, he will definitely adopt Ye Mingze under the name of the Fifth Elder.
"Thank you, Fifth Elder." After thanking the Fifth Elder, Ye Xuan secretly glanced at Ye Chenyuan with his peripheral vision, lowered his eyebrows and said in a submissive manner, "Grandfather, I wonder what I have done wrong?"
"Disrespect for elders."
After leaving Ye Xuan with four words that he could not refute, Ye Chenyuan looked at Ye Mingpei and said, "Old Five, you stay here with Nangong."
He turned his gaze to Ye Yisheng, and his tone changed from the cold and hard tone just now, and he said gently: "Yisheng, please come with us to the meeting hall. Don't worry, we won't do anything to you."
After saying that, he set his eyes on the two elders closest to him: "Fourth Elder, First Elder, please bring Ye Mingze and Ye Xuan with you."
A gentle breeze blew, and Ye Mingze felt a chill on his body. He then realized that he was sweating coldly. Only the elders can enter the meeting hall. Ye Chenyuan's posture of a three-court trial made him feel extremely uneasy.
He swallowed and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Father, but what did I do wrong?"
"Truth will come to light sooner or later. You know what you did."
Ye Mingze's heart was in turmoil, not knowing what had been exposed.
"Please let me know, father."
"Don't worry, you'll know in a moment."
Feeling Ye Chenyuan's gaze, Ye Yisheng reached out and took Nangong Chenyu's hand: "Master Ye, Ayu is my Taoist partner, there are no secrets between us, can he go to the meeting hall with me?"
Ye Chenyuan's gaze stayed on the two people's clasped hands for two seconds, and he really wanted to ask: How old are you two, and you became a couple?
The words that came out of his mouth were: "Okay."
No one knows how complicated Ye Chenyuan's mood is at this moment.
Seeing that everyone was going to the meeting hall, Ye Mingpei raised his hand unwillingly: "Master, I want to go to the meeting hall too."
He wanted to watch the fun.
"Go back to your own courtyard." Ye Chenyuan glanced at him calmly and said, "If you have nothing to do, practice and strive to improve your cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible."
Ye Mingpei's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Yes, Patriarch."
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn.
Ye Chenyuan sat in the first seat, Ye Laozu sat next to him, the other elders sat on both sides, and Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng sat at the end.
Ye Mingze and Ye Xuan were thrown in the center of the hall.
Ye Xuan had never experienced the scene of a three-court trial before. He reached out and pulled Ye Mingze's sleeve in fear.
He whispered, "Father."
No matter how much Ye Mingze loves his son Ye Xuan, compared with his own life, his beloved son is nothing. Without paying any attention to Ye Xuan, he knelt down on his own.
"Father, ancestor, elders, what exactly did Mingze do wrong?"
The fifth elder spoke impatiently: "Master, let him speak for himself first. If he tells the truth, there is no need to search his soul."
"Heh~" Ye Chenyuan sneered helplessly.
The looks that the others gave the Fifth Elder were indescribable.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen looked at each other and thought, soul search is a good idea! We should search Ye Mingze’s soul.
The two of them inevitably looked at the Fifth Elder who was stopping Ye Chenyuan from searching his soul. This old guy had helped Ye Mingze and his son time and again. Could it be that he was Ye Mingze and his son's backer in the Ye family?
The fifth elder seemed to be unable to sense the gazes of others and started to ask questions: "Mingze, let me ask you, are you the son of the patriarch?"
Ye Mingze’s first thought was: It’s over, my identity is exposed.
He came to his senses in a flash. If his identity was exposed, the Fifth Elder would not have asked him like this.
So, everyone just doubted him.
Suddenly, he felt confident again.
But he didn't say it for sure: "Ever since I was old enough to understand, everyone has told me that I am my father's child."
This answer makes my teeth ache.
After thinking for a while, the fifth elder asked, "Then do you know where the servant who took care of you since childhood is now?"
Ye Mingze shook his head: "I don't know. They left the Ye Mansion the day after I tested them."
"Did they tell you anything?"
Ye Mingze looked at Ye Chenyuan who was in the first place before replying, "They said that the family has many things to do, and my father, as the head of the family, has a lot of things to do every day. They asked me to be more considerate of my father, to respect him, and to practice well."
"That's all?"
"Well, that's what they told me."
“Master, could you be mistaken?” The fifth elder still believed that Ye Mingze was Ye Chenyuan’s son: “Besides, Mingze has a pair of children, and they are both descendants of the Ye family.”
Ye Yisheng's eyes were fixed on Ye Chenyuan, wanting to see how he would answer.
Ye Xuan finally realized what the Fifth Elder was saying. He looked up at the man on the first seat in disbelief and said, "Grandfather, you actually suspect that my father is not your son?"
"What's true cannot be false, and what's false cannot be true." Ye Chenyuan's emotionless eyes swept across the father and son kneeling in the hall, then glanced at the fifth elder and gave him four words.
"Stupid."
"You, me!" The Fifth Elder couldn't find any words to refute, so he turned to look at Patriarch Ye and pointed at Ye Chenyuan: "Patriarch, look at the Patriarch..."
"How is the head of the family?" asked Patriarch Ye with a raised eyebrow.
The fifth elder snorted coldly: "Today's matter was arranged by the Patriarch a long time ago, right?"
Ye Chenyuan: “???”
Others: “…” What on earth is the Fifth Elder talking about?
The Great Elder: "Fifth Elder, please make your words clear."
"Now that the head of the family has outstanding descendants, he doesn't want the children of his original wife." When the fifth elder said this, he also deliberately glanced at Ye Yisheng.
Ye Yisheng: What the hell? If he understood correctly, the old man meant that he had a child out of wedlock.
The fifth elder felt that he had guessed the truth, and continued, "The competition among the four great families is related to the allocation of resources for the next ten years. The head of the family brought Ye Yisheng back to the Ye family at this time, isn't it just to make us recognize his identity?"
Ye Yisheng: “…”
"That's enough." Ye Chenyuan said in a low voice, staring at the Fifth Elder with sinister eyes: "Fifth Elder made up stories and slandered this family master. From now on, your status as an elder will be revoked."
"Ancestor, I'll trouble you to erase the core memory of the Ye family that the Fifth Elder knows about."
The fifth elder was a little confused. Why was he not an elder?
"Ancestor, I didn't slander the Patriarch. I just told the truth."
The fourth elder shook his head. The fifth elder believed whatever Ye Mingze said. He felt that the Fifth Elder was hopeless and that it would be better to revoke his status as an elder, so that others would not think that the elders of the Ye family were a bunch of idiots.
“Okay, whether there is slander or not, the head of the family will tell you the truth.” Patriarch Ye raised his hand to cover the mouth of the fifth elder to prevent him from talking nonsense again.
"Great Elder, please search Ye Mingze's soul."
Originally, Ye Chenyuan planned to search his own soul, but after what happened with the Fifth Elder, if he searched his soul, no matter what the result was, the Fifth Elder would probably say that he had tampered with Ye Mingze's memory.
Just as the Great Elder stood up, Nangong Chenyu's voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
"Excuse me, we also want to see Ye Mingze's experience. It happens that I know a secret technique that can bring everyone into that person's past and experience everything he went through firsthand."
No one doubted the authenticity of the secret techniques that Nangong Chenyu mentioned. After all, he was a disciple of Yunjue Palace, and Yunjue Palace had many secret techniques that were unknown to the outside world.
The Great Elder immediately became interested: "What do you need us to do?"
The others also looked at Nangong Chenyu eagerly.
"I need a drop of your heart's blood."
Ye Chenyuan squeezed out a drop of blood without saying a word. Seeing how decisive he was, the others also squeezed out a drop of blood.
Ye Mingze's forehead was covered with cold sweat. If everyone really read his memory, he would die without a burial place. While everyone was forcing out their blood, he took out the teleportation talisman and planned to leave the Ye family first.
After the teleportation talisman was activated, a white light flashed and the talisman paper spontaneously combusted.
Ye Chenyuan said coldly: "Don't waste your energy. The Ye Family Council Hall is a space artifact that is isolated from the outside world. If you want to get out, you must have a boundary-breaking teleportation talisman."
As early as ten thousand years ago, the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Talisman had become a legend in Lingyuan Continent.
However, just in case, Ye Chenyuan still placed restrictions on Ye Mingze and Ye Xuan, preventing them from using spiritual energy.
Seeing everyone gathering around him, Ye Mingze turned pale with fear: "No, don't come over. I'll tell you everything. Don't use soul-searching techniques on me, I'll tell you everything."
The elder asked casually, "What do you want to say?"
Ye Mingze still wanted to fight for himself: "As long as the Ye family is willing to let me go, I will confess everything."
"Heh~ Do you think you can live if the Ye family lets you go?" Ye Yisheng approached Ye Mingze and took off his mask: "Look carefully at who I am."
Seeing a face that was 50% similar to Ye Chenyuan, Ye Mingze was stunned for a moment, and finally his gaze fell on the teardrop mole at the corner of Ye Yishen's eye.
